My self-driving vehicle is a bit of a disappointment.

I get in it, and it does nothing. It just sits there. It doesn't know what to do or where to go.

I have to tell it what to do and where to go.

Once I nudged it and gave it a swift kick in the speed deployment unit, it got going, but it still didn't know where to go.

Since it is self-driving, I just went to sleep and let it do its thing.

When I woke up, I was in a desert in New Mexico ... out of electricity.

Maybe I can walk a few miles down the road to a charging station and bring back a 5-gallon can of electricity.

On second thought, I think I will trade it in for a mule and a plug of chewing tobacco.

Pa-tooey!

I would have to pay Elon Musk $99 per month for my car to drive itself.

I tried a free trial of Tesla "Full Self Driving". It made too many mistakes.

Be thankful you are still alive. ;)

And you have saved $1200 / year.
